Is there fracking going on near there?

we felt it all the way up here. There is fracking in that area in Oklahoma - or injection as they like to call it.

But it's just plain old fracking. We are fighting an oil company doing just that a couple of miles from where I live here in central CA. There is an actual earthquake fault right where the oil fields are and an aquifer sitting under it that we take our well water from and yet our Planning Commission, despite all evidence that activist residents of the neighborhood presented to them against it, issued the permit anyway. We also are surrounded by various other faults including the big one the San Andreas. I know you haven't heard of it in the news because it's so local to us, but it's happening.

The residents are appealing it but it's hard to fight Goliath Oil. However, you need to start activism against this. Everybody across the nation where oil is being mined need to unite in condemning these practices. We, the people, take the risk of these dangerous industries, and we don't benefit from one drop of the oil in our gas tanks. Some company whose executive offices are far away from us take all the profits and they don't give a damn about the risk they present to us.

felt like there was a dog sitting under his chair scratching itself. My first earthquake was in Mexico, a pretty strong one but I was not anywhere close to the epicenter. The movement felt weirdly lateral and I knew immediately what it was even though I had never felt one before. I hope everyone in Fairview OK and its environs came through this safely.

sometimes to see if it was really a quake or if I had imagined it. We just missed some of the big ones.

Norman, Ok.

Not a pleasant feeling at all, they make my stomach queasy.

know immediately what it is. Like the earth is shuttering.

It's to be expected where I live.

Our land is nice old rolling hills. Not where you would expect big shifts. There are a few faults, but they are extremely old and haven't moved on their own in millions of years.

it's like.......having wrinkles and zits........it ain't right!

One or the other is quite sufficient for one lifetime. Tornadoes have a little warning sometimes. I have been through several.

As a native Californian I got used to them at a pretty early age. But, the Northridge quake scared the shit out of me. Kinda like trying to stand on bare feet on top of a roaring river.

I was reading GDP at the time and figured it was related.

I have hidden that forum for a while.

You probably felt the quake much stronger in Wichita.

this fracking thing is really pushing the level of human dumbth .
